Porsche NA and Germany are both out of suspension mounts for the 993!!!

I need two rears of 99333305900 which is now superseded to 99333305901 and its on manufacturers back order. DOH!!! No ETA either.

I'm praying that a UK dealer happens to have two in stock.

Have you checked with Gert?

I don't mean to be alarmist here but after speaking with Gert he said he can't believe how much 993 parts are not manufactured by German companies anymore. He told me that Porsche is/has been looking for a new manufacturer for a while.

So both front and rear mounts are on back order indefinitely!

Found 2 used with DC Auto (guy has reassured me they are almost new condition) so I've ordered from there. Plus they can ship today.

Mine were in horrible condition...

Oh and I called all of the big U.S. dealerships over the past hour and NO ONE has these.

I just picked up fronts from Sunset.

......I really hope mine are in ok shape so I can reuse them!

You're lucky Zack...you found a dealer that has them in stock. Are you sure they were in stock as some of the dealers mentioned they can get them in a few days but were unaware that Porsche themselves are out of stock...

doberdog

They did say that they would get them in a few days and they did. They arrived to my house in about 4 days. I needed rears once the install was in progress and my mechanic had some that he pulled from a 10,000km car, they looked like new, so I was lucky I guess. Didn't know it was a problem until now.
You can also go with solid mounts, there are many after market mounts to choose from, including Elephant.

Ahhh I didn't know that.

I'm guessing they're both the same, but have you tried to reach Porsche Classic parts?

Excellent news!

So your setup should done soon.

CamsPorsche

Yup! I'm waiting on the Walrod Bushings from Darin at FD and these two rear shock mounts.

It will be a week yet before these parts arrive. The wait is killing me...

Also arrived and on order is Euro clear corners and a new shift ****/boot setup.
